As with any home improvement project, the cost of hiring an electrician can vary depending on several factors. Perform electrical services can help with any electrical job in Weston-Super-Mare.
The size and complexity of the job, the time it will take to complete, and the materials required are all important considerations. That said, there are some general guidelines you can follow to get an idea of how much it will cost to hire an electrician for your home.
The first thing you need to do is determine the scope of the project. Are you looking for someone to install a few new light fittings? Or do you need more extensive work done, like rewiring your entire home? Once you have a good understanding of what needs to be done, you can start to get some estimates from electricians in your area.
It's important to remember that many electricians charge by the hour, so the final cost will depend on how long it takes them to complete the job. Most electricians, however, will be able to give you a quote of how much it will cost, before they even begin work. This will give you a good starting point for budgeting purposes. Please also remember, the price they charge isn't all profit. Businesses have many overheads, including sole traders.
At Perform Electrical Services Ltd. we have a minimum charge which covers many small jobs. Currently, this charge is £80.83+Vat. For rewires, a rough price is £1000 per bedroom plus £1000, for example, a 3 bedroom house will cost roughly £4000. By being open and honest upfront about our pricing we hope that this builds trust with our customers.
If you would like a more accurate quote for the work you want to get done, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01934 707 142. We'll be happy to discuss your specific requirements and provide you with a written quote with a detailed description of what work is included in that price. As standard, we also offer a 6-year insurance-backed warranty.
Finally, don't forget to factor in the cost of materials when budgeting for your electrician. While most electricians will include the cost of materials in their quotes, it's always a good idea to double-check before assuming anything. After all, you don't want any nasty surprises when it comes time to pay the bill! At Perform Electrical Services Ltd. unless otherwise specified, we include the cost of materials. We also pride ourselves in not having any hidden charges at all.
Electricians can be expensive, but the cost is generally worth it for the peace of mind and improved safety they can offer your home. By taking the time to understand the scope of the job and getting multiple estimates from electricians in your area, you can be sure you're getting a fair price for quality workmanship.
